Hi,
I am seeing an issue with Windows Server 2008 R2 and wonder if anyone has any idea's? At random the ping response will report "General Failure" when pinging a remote host.
Pinging server.domain.local [10.1.1.2] with 32 bytes of data:

The host is running ESX 5.5 U3.
VMWare Tools is loaded in the guest and the guest uses the VMXNET3 adaptor.
Other VM's on the same ESX host do not have this issue.
If I run 2 ping windows to the same destination IP they do not report the issue at the same time.
The general failure can happen to another guest VM running on the same ESX host.
Thanks!
